 What's the word y'all welcome back to Kenny for real call game whatever you want to call it today is my most anticipated episode I've never been more excited to record one of these episodes than today Because the Twitter world and the NBA world is very weird right now This was supposed to be an episode why came in and I want to talk about the implications of like the virus and the NBA We've having games be postponed. We have full rosters Whether it be catching a virus itself or do the tracking can't play and I want to talk about I wanted to talk about how We might see another suspension hiatus of the NBA season I'm a fingers crossed that we don't see that but it's a real possibility There's gonna be a meeting starting tomorrow and it might be seven days maybe 14 Hopefully not months, but we will see but instead of talking about that stuff We have games to talk about and and more specifically some things that have been going on on Twitter that I have Questions like genuine questions to the audience here The average NBA fan be sure to leave a like on the video subscribe if you are new if you have no idea I'm gonna give all of my personal opinions about things around here You may disagree and that is completely okay. We have a very civil community around here Leave it in the comment section instead of talking about the first game of the day I want to go right into the headline of this when I talk about the Toronto Raptors because as of right now They are down bad with the Washington Wizards winning today and them catching another ale They are what is that does that make them the worst team in the NBA? Record wise obviously record wise. They're not the worst team in the NBA And nobody would have expected that going into the season We all had them in that upper echelon Easter conference teams of like we talked about the top four top five They were in that conversations. They brought back Fred Van Vleet, which was a super surprise I was 100% sure that he was gonna go to New York and one of these other places He comes back They pretty much bring the same team back other than those two center positions And that would be one of the main reasons why they can't keep up with their production from last year Marcos all Serge Bakker are miles ahead of what you get in Alex Lynn and Aaron Baines when he was healthy Luckily for them Chris Boucher has really come in and stepped up But the last two games they have lost by one and losing by one is stressful and it sucks for an NBA fan And I understand you Raptors fans being down bad right now I would rather lose by 20 than to lose by one especially on back-to-back nights. So yesterday When they lost against you the Warriors I recorded my reaction to the last possession because in my opinion that last possession was was bad It had Pascal Siakum doing a spin at the top of the key that created no space and the shot did not go in and they Catch a ale and people some people on Twitter took that as me being a hater or whatever, but y'all know me around here I'm going to have constructive criticism about players. I'm gonna praise them and they do well I'm gonna have constructive criticism. That's always been the relationship I've had with players in the NBA because why would I not can have constructive criticism after that possession now? What makes it worse right as today they lose again and the possessions are similar Where Pascal gets in an isolation situation, but instead of getting them at the top of the key He gets it on the lower block, which is probably a better shot of him at the end of the day He spins he spins and he misses a shot The shot was halfway down and it bounced out and you cannot make that up It was this close to going in and the Raptors lose two games in a row now My tweet today was you can't make that up and what I was referred to was the fact that the shot was in the basket and it came out But Raptors fans being where they are and I understand being down bad again Your team was projected to be pretty good and right now y'all are ass People saw that as me taking shots at Pascal Siakam because my last tweet 24 hours ago was me being constructive But if you know who I am and been a fan of the things that I do around here You know that I am a huge Pascal Siakam fan But being a fan doesn't mean that I can't criticize somebody Derek Rose is my favorite player of all time Go back and watch videos when he was with Chicago. Please Chris Paul Oh, you can't see it cuz couple waters over there. Chris Paul is my favorite point guard of all time Don't ask me how Derek Rose and Chris Paul don't ask me that question, but I'm constructive of every single player. I just am I remember listen When when the Raptors were on their pace to win this championship a couple years ago I was live streaming the games live reactions And I was damn near brought to tears when they won it because Cal La we finally won a championship So I know the newer fans don't know that and they may interpret that as me being hater a hater But my real question to y'all is How can somebody see constructive criticism and take it as hatred and even if it was hatred Right because some people on Twitter are clown and Pascal whatever Why would it matter to you? Why does it matter to you when that is a genuine question? For example when the Bulls lost the other day where Zach Levine put up basically 50 against the Clippers And we took an ale people were clouding the Bulls But it literally didn't matter to me because it just doesn't matter at the end of the day Right when when your team is that team is down bad. There are gonna be people that criticize it It's the same way with any profession in the world that is on the higher pedestal when when your favorite artist flops You're going to get people talking about your favorite artists flopping even if you really enjoyed the project It's just the way social media really works So if you know in your heart that Pascal has been really good because today he had a triple double The last game even with the spinning shot that didn't go down He's really good even the game before that he was really good if you know that in your heart Why does it matter where one random person on Twitter has to say about him? That is a genuine question that I will I will I want to know the answer to because as of right now I can't relate To feeling some type of way about someone else's opinion about my favorite team or my favorite player Let me know in the comment section um Again, this is a good game for pasca. Siakam is his first ever triple double But the rafters lose his game because they had like a three-minute stretch where they couldn't score and guess what who was scoring Uh mellow south to mellow for a couple big shots and couple great defensive possessions A Damian lilor, of course in the cj being as smooth calm and collected as can be They get that rebound with like 17 seconds ago He just goes coast to coast to a spin layup or a spin jump shot and it was so smooth You know, that's a big win for the poyland churro blazer Especially considering use of knurkus were down with a quad injury that we don't know Where it's coming from or what it's going to turn into so to be down I think they were down but double digits at one point to come back in the fourth quarter and get that win It's great And the rafters have to find a way to get their offense more fluid when they are down in these slumps Wow, did I just spend six minutes on that? I sure did but I had to get that off my chest because It's just so weird. All right. Let's talk about the sun's basically just coming out and not doing a thing I don't want to say this is what the sun's is But some teams when teams transition from being a bad team to a good team some of those bad habits still stick Right and what turns a good team to a great team is being able to take care of business when it really matters the most There's been a few games a season where the Phoenix suns come into town or the I don't know if they've always been on a roll when this happens Where they're going against an inferior team where they should 100% win and they play down to the competition Right this is something that happened to us to high school a lot too And I don't want to bring high school stories into it But my coach used to always say we are better than this team. You guys are playing down to the competition This is what happened with the suns today It happened against the the detroit pistons and then it was one more game I think where they end up losing because they play down to the competition I have to figure out or the team has to figure out how to get deandre aid into either Get it get more confident or just I don't want to say play harder But play more aggressive He is too big to be dominated by robin lopez. Shout out to the watchers for this win, by the way We knew that tom is brian being out get here get well soon It's it's terrible to have anybody, you know be out for an entire season But robin lopez is a significantly better defensive player than tom is brian So today the defense look way better than it had been with Thomas brian So that's a plus um bradley bill was com cool collected as well and they get a a big win. I mean This is a team that is fun to watch when they are rolling and today was one of those days That was birds hands has his first really good game of the season He shows why he got paid all of their money and and knocking a lot of shots down Other suns have to come out and chris paul has to get that into him because out of all the players in the roster Him j crowder Um are the ones that have like that winning dna that's been in a lot of good winning locker rooms So they got to get these younger players to really come to play every single night and don't care who the competition is Let's just go out there and who the bucks put together a crazy fourth quarter against the magic And I was really enjoying the magic game until that point Um, I had no idea that mobomb was actually getting pt and then I looked it up He'd only play a couple a couple games in a couple minutes this season Um, but what a crazy story mobomba is, you know, I'm saying I hope he gets gets better And I hope he's not look there's a picture of me on the internet somewhere in a mobomba jersey I hope it doesn't exist But it happened I was a big mobomba fan coming out of college and so far this in his NBA career He hasn't really lived up to anything But the bucks put it together in this fourth quarter gordo gordon. Hey, we're 34 points I mean in the first half he had like 28 so in the second half he didn't do much But this is what I was saying when the season was starting The the hornets are fun. I knew they were going to be fun going into things and this is the fourth game in the row I think they won where they play really well Um, this is a game that lamello ball didn't shoot the ball at all well But everything else about his game was amazing him and vante did not have good games and somehow they end out Winning it with him and vante not having good games shooting wise They definitely know how to play make and they definitely had to know how to do the surrounding things Defensively, I don't know if the numbers back me up on this But they haven't looked terrible when it was like lamello ball Um, when they run that three ball the three guard lineup of lamello ball terrible's year And vante gram and maybe the numbers don't back me up on that But the eye test is telling me that it didn't look bad at least in this game When they're all playing together shout out to pj watch to slowly get him back to last year for him I know he didn't shoot the ball well, but he started off really really good um in the last game I want to talk about Which which game? Oh, is that all of them? I mean the philly let's be honest philly shouldn't be playing either Um, just like how the other games got postponed the philly's just caught two ls at the expense of the nba because they don't have a complete team They honestly don't have a complete team. Oh Um, the nicks lost this one and this is a third game in a row where the nicks couldn't even crack 90 points Are they coming back down to earth? I don't I don't really know but it's kind of looking like that Um to not be able to put up 90 points on three straight games is is a bit scary We especially consider who their competition has been over the those course that course of time. So You know, um, I feel like rj. We know rj as a slasher obviously. That's what he does best But he needs to somehow get a jump shot too because it just makes things harder for Players like julius randall who's their best player at this point because teams don't even guard rj out there And they allow him that he doesn't get enough time to get that full head of steam to get to the basket anymore So they they got to figure that out and get his jump shot right or just surround him or four of the shooters But I don't even know if you how about I just get my guard to shoot the ball well You know I'm saying and he's only into year number two and I'm sure it'll come around eventually It's not like his jump shot looks bad or anything. It just doesn't really go down And the last game this is the last game the kings grill me back in every time I'm I'm ready to stop watching the kings. They do it and harrison barn shows the veteran leadership and put up 30 Dear and fox big game. Um, I don't really have much to say about the indiana pacers in this ale I don't know how you let that have dug make dummy puts up 20 and you still catch your ale is is rough Um, but this was a good game a good team game where everything was rolling for for the kings and they almost blew it They almost showed their age there, but they weren't able to put it together the ear fox big slam at the end and that was it I think that's the end of my episode If you enjoyed the video leave it a like and please I will be scouring through the comment sections I'm I'm genuinely curious about all those things. I literally have a goddamn pascal siacum shirt How many people have a knock off pascal siacum shirt? Please tell me love y'all call game
